minor edit,  this was first released on the American Composers series, "Stars and Hank Forever" George and James was the next. (George Gershwin and James Brown)

@nicademus666 George and James came first. Stars And Hank was the follow-up actually.

This is two songs by Hank. "Singing Waterfall" and "Jambalaya"

And if you can scare up a copy of the Residents Daydream B Liver album you can hear a rare outtake of "I'm so lonesome I could Cry" and another rare hank Williams tune called "Dear Brother" Amazing!!!!!

Frankly, this version sucks.

[poppyallgood]

Interesting. Covers of this tune tend to shoot for preservation of the "joie de vivre" Louisiana life offers. This is probably the only one I've heard that so dramatically alters the very spirit of the song, making it sound more like and ode to alienation than good times a-rollin'. I like it anyway.

[catrileo68]

me too.

Absolutely the best version of Jambalaya ever.
